A excellent location when thinking about dinner and entertainment. Drinks are a fantastic idea for those who love exploring various wine. I highly recommend Modern Plate as the best place for bridal showers and birthday parties too.

Hands down the best slider trio I have ever had. Regular cheeseburger was terrific. Buffalo chicken with blue cheese was outstanding. But the winner was the pot roast slider. Wow. Tons of flavor and very juicy. We had never been to down Elmhurst and decided to try this gem. We will be back!!!

So first off I have to give kiddos to our waitress Amy because she definitely set the tone for our first time dining here. Her whole vibe was amazing! She explained the menu and gave us some insight on how Chef Iran created it himself. Her recommendations were spot on with the flavor profiles we told her we typically enjoy. We started with the YiaYias wings which were delicious. The sauce is added right before they come out to the table which allows the wings to maintain their crispy texture and that's a huge plus. The tzatziki sauce is home made and does not disappoint. For the entrees we ordered the Garlic Shrimp pasta and the tomahawk pork chop. The pasta was very very good, perfect consistency and a very refreshing sauce that is also from scratch. The shrimp were nice and tender and you could taste that they are fresh not frozen. I ordered the pork chop medium and it was very juicy and tender. I did substitute the roasted veggies for the Brussel sprout side they offer and they were delicious. For dessert we had the Limoncello Tiramisu and it was divine. It's made from scratch and has this delightful top layer. Overall it was a great experience and we will most certainly be back. We were lucky enough to meet with Chef Iran before we left and he is so sweet. It's rare that you meet a chef who genuinely cares about you enjoying your meal entirely.

Service was terrible. Waited for twenty minutes and a server never came to even take our drink order. It was in the middle of the day at 2:45 PM, so not even a prime time and barely any tables. We ended up walking out. Would not recommend.

Will be back - the Mezcal cocktail was really good. I had the stuffed dates and the avocado pizza which are both great as well.

Food is really good. Loveeee the bacon wrapped dates and filet sliders. The real stand out here is the service. Bussers, managers and servers all great. They go above and beyond. I swear my daughter would drop something on the floor and someone would be there to pick it up within 30 seconds. I asked for a change in the drink I ordered and same thing... literally 30 second fix. Everyone was super friendly and a nice ambiance! Went twice and both times were great so we will definitely be back. Oh they also have a decent happy hour!

Not a good start - We made reservations and requested a booth in the bar. We arrived on time, but had to wait ten minutes for a table in the middle of the restaurant. Service was inconsistent. We received our appetizer before our drinks arrived. Then the server disappeared and we had to wait to place our meal order. Ambiance - very loud. We had a difficult time hearing each other let alone the server who had to yell to be heard. At least the food was very tasty. We shared the Mediterranean dip (hummus with lots of goodies on top). Our meals: Angry bird mac & cheese, Filet Sliders, and Short rib risotto were all very well cooked and spiced. Finished with the homemade tiramisu limoncello. Very flavorful.
Great new establishment downtown elmhurst. Entertain ment great so far too. The grilled cheese and rib sandwich is delish. Same for patty melt. Meat done as requested both times.

Nice new restaurant in Elmhurst. Nice decor. Many choices on the menu. Poppers good ; not spicy. Tried the burgers.... Santa Fe burger was delicious. The hottie burger was not what we expected. Server described the burger completely different. Couple complaints were that the restaurant is Extremely loud! We were not able to hear our server or hold a table conversation. Drinks are a little pricey but that's expected.

Average food- overcooked pasta, good service for the most part, great atmosphere on a busy Saturday night.

Excellent food with a lot of choices. Great ambience and they happily walk you through the restaurant to their back concert venue for a show after dinner.
